[SirG]

Can someone please assist and confirm if the following instrumrnt console section is meant to light up at night when the ignitions turned on



Mine doesn't

[ej20i]

ony turns on when ur headlight switch is on

[SirG]

Mines screwed then, cos mine doesn't turn on at all, the heater/aircon etc turns on, but the Audio controld "1,2,3 skip/frwd" etc do not light up. However the aduio screen does. Darghh, gota ask Honda to fix it.

press your + button to illuminate the dash more?

[SirG]

Lol - i'll try to be more specific....see the below image....



The highlighted in GREEN sections all light up as expected under driving lights (no need to adjust "illuminate" button.

The highlighted in RED section does not light up at all. Dark as night, can't see what i'm pressing.

I'm assuming this is not normal behavior, but would like others to confirm as i can't remember.
